Do you feel like your needs are invisible to those around you? Do you question whether anyone truly loves you for who you are and not just for what you can do for them? What makes things worse is that you often prioritize helping others before meeting the very basic needs of your own. Sadly, this tends to go unnoticed by most. Well, it’s time to make you a priority for once. The most important life to save, nurture, and make stronger is yours. I am experienced, dedicated, and optimistic about helping you unlock the incredible possibilities that life has to offer.
I am certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy, Brain Spotting, and Trauma Informed Therapy. Over the past decade, I've had the privilege of supporting individuals through a variety of challenges. I understand how issues like trauma and PTSD, relationship struggles, and anxiety can negatively affect your life in so many ways.
I am committed to helping you thrive, whether through encouragement, resources, or just being there for you every step of the way. Don't hesitate to schedule a free 15-minute consultation to see if we’re a match. I look forward to hearing from you soon and ultimately working together to create meaningful changes in your life.
